e-tron - mobility without compromise

The e-tron philosophy

Audi e-tron takes progressive technology and blends it with everyday usability, creating the electric driving experience of tomorrow. For you this means premium mobility, a hassle-free drive that has its foundations in the design you’ve already come to expect from an Audi. No more compromise.

Easy to charge, highly efficient and a significant step towards our vision to be CO2 neutral, Audi e-tron gives you the flexibility to choose to drive with just the combustion engine, just the electric drive, or in hybrid mode with both.

Winner of What Car? Best Electric Car

The Audi A3 Sportback e-tron has been named "Best Electric Car of the Year" for 2015 by What Car? The Audi A3 Sportback e-tron is a plug in hybrid electric vehicle that promotes mobility without compromise. A 75kW electric motor is coupled with a 1.4TFSI which means you have the performance and reliability of a combustion engine with the economy of an electric motor.

Cars or vans which emit 75g/km or less CO2 and that meet the Euro 5 standard for air quality are congestion charge excempt.

Charging your e-tron

At home

Find the charging unit behind the Audi rings on the A3 Sportback e-tron grille. Connect the cable for the car's charge unit into a socket at home or use the wall box charging unit.

On the road

During your journey, energy recuperation technology converts kinetic energy from your brakes and stores it in the Lithium-ion battery. This energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator, helping to improve fuel efficiency.

At 1,000s of UK charge points

There are charge points across the UK, in car parks, supermarkets, on the street, right where you need them.
